Can you still apply for a passport in person?
While you can still apply in person for a U.S. passport at some acceptance facilities and renew through the mai l, we will not be able to meet our commitment of 6-8 weeks door-to-door for routine service. You should expect significant delays beyond this time period it normally takes to receive your passport and your citizenship evidence documents.
When is it best to use expedited passport service?
You’re going to be best off using an expedited passport service or expedited service at an agency if you’re trip is less than one month away from the date you’re applying for your passport. This ensures that you’ll receive your passport in time, and takes a lot of stress out of the travel planning process.
Is it possible to leave the country without a passport?
